Pitchfork is reporting that Isaac will be scoring the upcoming film Queens of Country, written and directed by Ryan Page and Christopher Pomerenke. Both of whom were responsible for 2009's The Heart is a Drum machine, which Isaac starred in. The film stars Ron Livingston, Lizzy Caplan, and Tool's Maynard James Keenan.

Living in a fantasy era long gone and obsessed with old time country stars, the prettiest girl in a small Arizona town finds a lost iPod filled with songs that speak to her sensitive heart. Jolene Gillis is convinced the owner is her soul mate and she is thrust into a sexy, heartwarming and hilarious adventure of mistaken identities, ATVs, line dancing competitions, kidnappers, time machines and doppelgangers.

We will continue to report on this as more information is known, but seeing as how filming just began, that could be a few months. It will be interesting to see if this turns into another Ugly Casanova project, similar to the work that was done for 2010's 180° South.

Filming began on May 3, and the movie is slated for a 2011 release. Isaac's score is to be released in 2012.

We have been told that an old 1996 era Modest Mouse track will be featured on
an upcoming three disc compilation entitled "Live From Nowhere Near You Vol
II" coming out July 19.

The compilation has been compiled by Kevin Moyer and consists of collaborating
street musicians, friends and professional musicians. The majority of the
music recorded in his attic and basement studios, donated spaces, live
on the street, and in alleyways or under bridges. With the purpose of the
album being to tell the story of life on the streets and the roads leading
to and from there.

All profits from this release will be donated to Outside In, a non-profit
organization in Portland, OR focused on providing aid and counseling to homeless
youth.

Kevin has managed to assemble an impressive array of artists to support this
cause, alongside Modest Mouse, the likes of Pearl Jam, James Mercer, Elliot
Smith, The Strokes, Corin Tucker, Bright Eyes, and many more.

To keep the media interested, they will be releasing the track list bit by
bit over the next few weeks. Right now, all we know about the Modest Mouse
track is that it is circa 1996 and that while it is not unknown, it is unreleased.
It is speculated that the track could be something off Uncle
Bunny Faces', as there
was talk back in 2009/2010 of a track being wanted for a compilation album.
Keep an eye on their Facebook
page, where they will be releasing more details in
the coming days, and of course we will keep you updated with any information
as we receive it.

Right now, the album is available for pre-order through Greyday Records' website
for $15. Canadians (and maybe others) please note, there seems to be a problem
with the shipping options, as only express options are available. We're informed
they will be looked into, so maybe hold off until then.

Mister Heavenly, the side project of Joe Plummer and members of Man Man and
The Unicorns, will be releasing their debut album, Out Of Love, on August 16

Seattle design and production company, Süperfad, team up with director Nando Costa (The Whale Song video) and World Gang to release the short film Tactile Waveforms.

Süperfad's latest short film, directed by Nando Costa, explores the connections between science, mathematics and music. Drawings representing a musical score are released into stylized landscapes that illustrate conditions through which sounds travel. These drawn representations react in different ways when traveling through the desolate landscapes, transforming into impossible musical instruments and altering elements in the environment along the way. The film's structure is defined by World Gang's music composition, which features classic instruments altered electronically to create the track. Working in a push and pull relationship, the film's video and audio abstractions unite in an experience that is both otherworldly and rooted in tradition.
